我从小因为肤色深而遭受霸凌，这让我感到不舒服、悲伤和不自信。但大约五年级时，我开始接纳自己，并创立了服装品牌Flexin’ in My Complexion，旨在鼓励人们热爱自己的肤色。创业过程充满挑战，既有快乐也有艰难，但我坚持不懈，并得到了家人的大力支持。我的品牌产品线不断扩展，从T恤到卫衣、帽衫，还与Lupita Nyong’o合作推出新系列，并即将推出护发产品。我的品牌获得了许多名人的认可，这让我感到非常兴奋和自豪。在纽约时装周上展示我的作品也是一次难忘的经历。除了服装设计，我还从事模特和配音工作，并拥有自己的卡通形象。我创立了Flex My Complexion基金会，致力于帮助社区儿童。在面对霸凌时，我会建议大家进行自我肯定，并尝试与霸凌者沟通。保持谦逊和积极的心态，才能在名利面前保持清醒。
